The Heart Behind GNO
We’re Kelly and Haley Matthews, the mother-daughter team behind GNO Events. Creativity and entrepreneurship have always been a part of our story. Over the years, we’ve worked side by side in day jobs and built multiple small businesses together. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, we launched The Imprint Duo LLC, a hand-stamped jewelry and accessories business.
Our Story
What began as a small online shop quickly grew as we traveled to markets, festivals, and pop-up events across the East Coast. From West Virginia to Florida, we fell in love with the world of small business. But, after relocating to FL permanently in 2021, we also saw something was missing. We were craving a female-centered community where women could feel supported, seen, and celebrated...not just as business owners, but as women.
In 2023, we decided to create that space ourselves.
We hosted our very first Girls Night Out event, and the response was overwhelmingly incredible from both vendors and attendees. That moment sparked a new passion and became the beginning of something bigger than we ever imagined.
Since then, we’ve hosted over 20 events across Central Florida, including monthly Girls Night Out pop-ups, quarterly GNO Networking events, and GNO Socials. What started as The Imprint Duo has now grown into our greatest passion yet, creating spaces where women feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated in every season of life. Whether you’re a business owner, creative, dreamer, or simply a woman looking for friendship, inspiration, or a fun night out...we're so glad you're here!
